In surely one of the most surprising moves in this season's start PAOK secured the services of Lazaros Papadopoulos, who was still waiting for offers. The former Greek international centre signed until the end of the season, but surprises do not end here. The earnings of his contract will be given to charity, namely children support organizations and the Greek wheelchair basketball federation. Moreover, a friendly game between PAOK and a Euroleague team will be organised in May next year and the profits wil be given for charity as well.Born in Krasnodar, Russia, the 29-year-old started last season playing for Real Madrid but was loaned shortly after to Fortitudo Bologna, averaging 11.5 points and 7.7 rebounds in the Italian league.
